Henry's Fork

We stayed in Island Park, Idaho, Riverside Campground for a few days after leaving Jackson, Wyoming. Having been there a number of times and blogging about it in the past, I don't have much more to offer, other than that the Henry's Fork is beautiful, but the fishing is hard.

At the campground, we made a reservation in May I think. Alicia has made a note about which sites are the best, and we referred to that to obtain A12 - private and on the river with a yard of wildflowers.


Settled in, we can now focus on the thing we came for -- a bit of standing in the river and trying to coax a fish with a fake bug.  Henry's Fork can be rather wide, cold, and full of fish. But the fish are hard to catch.

One section of the Henry's Fork ...



With not much happening at Henry's Fork, we drove to the Madison River in Montana, to a place known as "Between the Lakes" - so-called because this section of river was "created" after an earthquake dammed up the river: Quake Lake

So, Alicia goes out and catches the "big one" - 18" rainbow trout.
